Right now, for the first time in about 1400 years, Christians in the British Isles are living in a non-Christian culture. Yes, the remnants of Christian influence are all around us – but by and large, our society rejects the authority of the church, the Bible, and God himself. At the same time, cultural norms are changing at breakneck speed. Digital technology has rewritten the rules of social interaction, political discourse is degenerating fast, and sexual and moral codes are being rewritten in the name of selfish individualism.All in all, it can be a bewildering time to try and live for Jesus.  How should we respond to this culture we find ourselves in? Draw battle lines, engage caps lock, and fight to the last?Well, according to Mark Sayers, author of A Non-Anxious Presence, there is a better way. Rather than being overwhelmed by cultural change, Christians can offer a more peaceful, wise way forward. Because we know the one who never changes, we can be a non-anxious presence - bringing kingdom perspective and service into the world, moulding culture to be more kingdom-like. Listen in as Mark chats with Paul and Grace about all things cultural engagement.Mark Sayers is the author of several popular books, including Disappearing Church, Reappearing Church, and The Road Trip that Changed the World. He also hosts the Rebuilders podcast, and leads Red Church in Melbourne, Australia. Find out more at marksayers.co
